Traces of screen integration can become very large and difficult to interpret, especially in some host applications where many screen updates may occur from a single keystroke (some VT100 applications are particularly bad at generating excessive screen snapshots).
To help in your interpretation of a trace, the filtering checkboxes are provided to omit trace elements unrelated to your immediate goals.
Each of the available checkboxes relates to specific elements. Each category is covered in more detail in the Color Coded Trace Contents sub-topics.
Filtering Categories
Emulator Display screen images, both
received from the host |
and
sent to host |
(VT100 only displays received screens and sent keystrokes). Also displays the enter key used (Attention IDentifier or AID key, such as Enter, PF1 and so on).
Buffers Display communications buffers with host, both
received from host |
and
sent to host |
. Generally only useful to those who understand the details of the particular protocol in use.
COM/HLLAPI Display Application Programming requests made between applications and active sessions. Both
requests |
and
responses |
.
| Internal | Internal or miscellaneous information. Useful in cases where API requests are encountering an error condition and more detail is needed (such as no sessions available). Internal trace entries are displayed in white. |
